Journeys In Film🌍 Happy Arab American Heritage Month! As we honor the culture, heritage and history of the diverse peoples of the Arab world, we're highlighting Wadjda, the debut film from Saudi writer-director Haifaa al-Mansour!
This delightful narrative film about a young Saudi girl who desperately wants a bicycle was the first feature film shot entirely in Saudi Arabia and the first feature-length film made by a female Saudi director.
Our Wadjda Curriculum Guide for grades 6-12 features a lesson plan about director Haifaa al-Mansour and her pioneering film achievement! The curriculum guide also introduces students to Saudi Arabia and Islam, and provides a great starting point for discussing gender equality.

Did you know that our film guides feature introductions to the films?
They also almost always include a letter from the filmmaker and/or a filmmaker profile, and sometimes include behind the scenes stories about the making of the film.
Many of our film guides include #MediaLiteracy lessons tied to that specific film, and we also offer more generally applicable media literacy and #FilmLiteracy lessons and teaching tools as well. For example, our #SchindlersList guide includes a letter from Steven Spielberg with an amazing story from the film set. Our #Wadjda film guide includes a profile on Haifaa al-Mansour, the first woman film director in Saudi Arabia. And our #HiddenFigures guide explores shooting scripts with real script pages from the film.
Our film guides are free for everyone. Whether you're an educator, an individual learner or a film fan, check out our resource library to learn more.
